It is an undeniable fact that BTS has transcended borders, cultures, and languages to impress a massive number of the global population with their music. However, the K-pop group also has its fans in their own South Korean entertainment industry as well. Case in point, leader of K-pop band Stray Kids, Bang Chan, recently complimented BTS member Jungkook for his single Stay Alive which was produced by BTS rapper Suga.
On Sunday, Bang Chan held a V Live session where he interacted with his fans. During the live session, the 24-year-old artist played the soundtrack of BTS’s original webtoon and web novel 7 Fates: CHAKHO. The artist visibly enjoyed listening to Jungkook’s voice and soon after the song ended he heaped the golden maknae of BTS with praises.
“I feel like he’s like the top tier of the whole industry. He’s good at everything. He’s the same age (as me), but I’ve looked up to him ever since I was a trainee,” Bang Chan said “You have to admit he’s good at everything. So, yeah, I’ve been listening to this song even between schedules these days. The song is so good,” he said.

Fans also liked how Bang Chan was not afraid of complimenting a fellow K-pop group. One of the fans tweeted, “Just another example of the fact that idols literally like and respect other groups. And on how the fan wars stuff is bulls**t.”

A BTS fan also shared their reaction on Twitter as they wrote, “I may not be a fan of them but I had a huge respect for this guy, you can see how passionate he is in what he is doing. Continue striving Bangchan, people like you who genuinely love creating music will always have a place in this chaotic (music) industry.”
